Conditional Image Visibility with Embedded code

I am trying to create a embedded function that will accept a dataset field
value and based on the value, make an image visibility hidden or visible in
the body of the report. I receive an error that the mathimage is not
declared. How do I reference an image in the body of the report. The field is
within a list and based on the subject an image is displayed in the bodiy of
the report.
Below is a sample of the embedded code.
Function VisibleYN(subject as string,passedyn as boolean) as double
if subject = "Math" and passedyn = true then
mathimage.visibility = visible
end if
if subject = "Science" and passedyn = true then
scienceimage.visibility = visible
end if
THe following expression is in the visibility property tab of the textbox
that holds the subject.
code.visibleyn(fields!subject.value as string, passedyn as boolean)
Any help would be appreciated!

MarieThe actual property is under the visibility and is named "IsHidden", so your
function should return a boolean rather than try and set a property.
Change
mathimage.visibility = visible
to
Return False
and likewise for your science one to get it to work.

> Marie|||The reason I am trying to set the property is because the function is being
called from a textbox bound to a field. Based on the value in the field I am
setting the property of a checkmark image. If I return the boolean value how
do I use this value to set the property of another report item? I was hoping
I could do something like Reportitem.image1.ishidden = false.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Right click on the image, expand Visibility, then use this in the Hidden
property
=TextBox1.Value="Math"
or
=iif(textBox1.Value="Math",true,false)
I was looking for something similar the other day, and I found the custom
code is a little quirky because I could not find a way to access control
members via code.
When I passed Me as an object, I got some interesting results. For example,
try
this:
function Test(me as object) as boolean
msgbox("String=" & Me.ToString)
return false
end sub
TextBox9.Value=Code.Test(me)
Check out the title of the msgbox itself! It looks like there is funcky
name mangling going on in the host, which prevents us from using objects
directly in custom code.
msgbox("Name=" & Me.Name) indicates a public member not available, so it
appears that unless there is a reflection trick, I have yet to find a way to
access member variables of a report control in custom code.
I'll keep an eye on this thread, and I hope this is of some help to you..
